“It Is Why We Never Feel Ok” by Jay Ivankovic

Wisdom speaks of shades of grey,
It is why we never feel ok.
Trust,
I know we’ll meet again someday.
We’ll watch a sunset,
Waiting for tomorrow’s play.
Freedom speaks of Love and War.
She keeps us here, wanting more.
Beauty simply holds the door,
Questioning Life unlike before.
Fear is never afraid of herself,
Sharpening knives before she forgives and forgets.
Preditors never quit their quest,
Only with Tragedy do their Instincts rest.

Former Stories / Better Conclusions

You were the girl

I wanted to impress through my writing,

For I knew that normal words would not work

With you.

You were special,

And craved the kind of love

That crazy, spontaneous writers had,

The ones that only reside

In history books.

Of course,

I pray our story does not end like theirs.

I only desire happiness for us.

Vision

Once we harmonized,

Your goals and dreams

Also became mine.

And I so dearly

Wanted to see you

Achieve them all.

Letters

I always told myself

That I could not possibly

Fall in love with you more.

But here you are,

Proving me wrong once more.
